Institution of a difficult airway response team for emergency department patients with anticipated or encountered difficult airways: Descriptive analysis of a 5-year experience at an academic teaching hospital.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes associated with difficult airway response team (DART) encounters in the emergency department (ED). Methods: We performed a descriptive analysis of a prospective, single-center database of DART encounters in the ED from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2021 cross-referenced with retrospective chart review. Adult ED patients ≥18 years old for whom a DART was activated were eligible. We prospectively collected activation characteristics, intubation indications, operator characteristics, and intubation methods used for DART encounters. Retrospective chart review was conducted to obtain patient demographics and outcome variables. Descriptive analyses were computed for all outcomes. Results: We analyzed 89 DART encounters. No intubation attempts were made prior to DART activation in 52 cases (58.4%). The most common indications for intubation were angioedema ( Conclusion: Our findings provide important insights regarding ED DART utilization and have implications when considering institution of a DART in the ED.
